Just over the border from here in Switzerland you can resrict a Hyabusa to 33bhp if you want while you get your full license. It still wont be slow.
Just imagine that, a Hyabusa with a whole 33bhp!!
Just imagine riding a Hyabusa as a learner machine!!

It depends on the drag - back in 1956 NSU had a 125cc machine which did 150mph - and probably only had 15-20 HP, but it was fully enclosed with streamlining.

A small rider tucked in well will get 10-15mph or more over a larger rider not tucked in.
Just removing the mirrors from most bikes will get an additional 5 mph.

It depends on the bike and its original top speed capability.
A Harley Electra-Glide restricted to 33bhp will be a whole lot slower than a Fireblade restricted to 33bhp.

Hey Jamie
Found this link earlier:

Haven't had time to go through it so maybe not what you're looking for, but good question - one I hope to be able to answer in a few months time (if I pass my test)
Let us know if you find out anything more specific.
